One Delicious Corn Cup...Comin' Right Up!

First news first.....I GOT A JOB!!!!!!! Last week, at a business consultant firm for Automotive dealerships, I was hired on as a junior training consultant. For the next 90 days, I will be training and learning the ropes at this communications-centered job. In three words....I....AM..PSYCHED!





However, with the prospect of work comes the extensive challenge in finding cheap, easy, quick, AND healthy recipes. I am going to share with you one healthy snack recipe, which is also inexpensive to recreate.

MEXICAN CORN CUP

This Mexican appetizer was featured on a recipe of a Food Network show it is the

perfect side dish for a small lunch and operates in place of more unhealthy side items such as: fries, chips, coleslaw, etc. This side item is valued at around 150 calories.
